Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S31 144. Difficult Position

Eva sat listlessly on the floor of her living room. Her swollen eyes no longer contained sadness. However, her nose still flared. The roar of her breath was too difficult to quench.

“My boutique…. My hope…. My dream….”

She stroked the only frame that was still intact. There was a photo of her cutting the ribbon there-the moment at the inauguration of her new boutique.

The curve of her lips was so wide in that picture. Meanwhile, her current face was dim. There was not the slightest light in her eyes.

“Why could this happen to me?” she wailed, biting her lip. If her tears hadn’t run out, her face would have been wet again.

“What should I do now? Everything is gone. My boutique is gone.”

No matter how many times Eva repeated those words, her mind was not yet satisfied. She seemed to hope that a miracle would come to give her an answer.

In silence, Eva shifted her sad gaze. Other pictures were scattered around her. One of them contained Ava’s face.

Under the cracked glass, Eva was seen holding a bouquet of flowers. She was flanked by Ava and Mrs. Connor. It was the best day of her life, the only moment where she could be proud of herself and win a landslide victory over Ava-a moment she thought would never happen again.

“You evil bastard! She must be happy to see me slumped like this. She must be proud of defeating me.”

Unexpectedly, Eva threw the frame in her hand at that picture. The

glass shards added, but Eva didn’t care about the mess. She no longer had the enthusiasm to organize her house or her life until suddenly, the bell rang.

“Who dares to come here?” she groaned before getting up from the

floor.

Instead of welcoming the guest, Eva sat on the sofa. Hugging her bent knees, she studied the door.

Once again, the bell rang. However, Eva remained unmoved. Her gaze grew dimmer. As the door opened, her breath rumbled violently. Her hand moved quickly to grab the nearest frame and threw it.

“How dare you come here? Wasn’t my warning clear enough? I don’t want to see you again. You are the bad luck of my life!”
